Vir
Das
"We
are
spending
the
day
trying
to
tie
up
with
the
right
NGOs
to
set
up
a
collection
drive
for
Nepal
at
each
show
of
the
#UnbelievableTour.
The
idea
is
for
you
to
bring
anything
you
can
spare
to
the
show.
Some
medicine,
some
products
(which
we
shall
give
you
details
on),
a
blanket,
types
of
clothes
etc
and
we
are
trying
to
find
the
right
people
to
send
it
across
to
those
who
need
it," reads
